Pekingese Rescue Network, Inc.
Volunteer/Foster Application

Pekingese Rescue Network, Inc. is a registered non-profit corporation dedicated to the rehoming of Pekingese dogs in New Jersey and adjoining states. Our rescued dogs come from owners who are no longer able to care for them, kill shelters, strays, etc. Many of the little dogs are traumatized by the sudden change in their lives. The dogs need to learn to trust again. We need dedicated volunteers who love animals to serve as foster guardians in their homes, transporters, shelter rescuers, computer persons, and public relations persons for our organization. Please consider volunteering. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT AND HELP! Thank you!

Thank you for filling out this volunteer/foster form. Although it may seem rather involved, one must realize that fostering a rescue dog is a very special commitment and a vital part of rescue. Often some of these dogs have never known love or kindness. Fostering allows them to learn to trust and live indoors in a family environment, which will help to insure a lifetime placement in the future. You are literally saving a dog's life. Upon receipt of your application, someone will be in touch with you to setup a visit to your home and go over the volunteering/fostering details.
